found in the wee hours this morning
when i could find nowhere finer to be
http://www.surveyhistory.org/north-south_carolina_boundary_co
mmission_report.htm
featuring the sleuthing & retracing in 1928 of the first leg of the
original ncsc 1735 boundary survey by means of oral history &
dendrochronology


was then inspired to retrace this 43 mile diagonal line myself in
largest scale at topozone
only to find long stretches of it unmonumented
& even labelled by the usgs as approximate
in rare certification of such neglect

even the turnpoint at the end appears unmonumented on the
topo
& you may recall the other terminus was marked only by a no
nudity sign on the beach


in the process i also discovered a previously unreported
interstate tertiary megapoint
not far behind that funky south of the border resort on i 95
which i imagine many members may recall from experience
or more precisely at the wet point where the north carolina
counties of columbus & robeson meet the south carolina
counties of dillon & horry

so this presents us2ncsc3codihoro by scientific name
the latest of probably fewer than 10 such state line termegapt
marvels in the usa
if not the entire world
since nonamerican ones are unknown

i am still in process of rounding them all up tho

but jack may also have a list of these in progress
which i would love to crib from too
